Hi there - Melbourne dev here so not super familiar with the NSW system
I’ve been working on the Melbourne-Sydney XPT data and I noticed that the way the data is returned in the GTFS-R feed is a bit strange. At times it only appears in the NSW Trains feed, sometimes only Sydney Trains and also a mix of both. When its a mix the NSW Trains feed appears to be more accurate.
I’m currently looking at ST24 Albury - Central and the trip data seems to be missing stops (This is NSW Trains feed, it’s not in the Sydney Trains feed at all)
entity {
id: "18"
trip_update {
trip {
trip_id: "ST24.210920.31.1155"
schedule_relationship: SCHEDULED
route_id: "4T.T.ST24"
}
stop_time_update {
stop_sequence: 2

}
departure {

}
stop_id: "26603"
}
stop_time_update {
stop_sequence: 3
arrival {
delay: 75
}
departure {
delay: 132
}
stop_id: "26583"
}
stop_time_update {
stop_sequence: 4
arrival {
delay: 54
}
departure {
delay: 61
}
stop_id: "26553"
}
stop_time_update {
stop_sequence: 5
arrival {
delay: -84
}
departure {
delay: 76
}
stop_id: "2650135"
}
}
}
The data returned only has data for Culcairn, Henty, The Rock and Wagga Wagga. However sites like AnyTrip do not seem to have this issue - they have timings for the whole trip just fine. Is there something I am missing with the data feeds here?
I’m only focusing on the XPT so I’m not sure if this affects other trips too
